Stewardship

“Stewardship is an attitude of the mind and heart that expresses itself in action.”

Stewardship calls us to recognize that everything we have is a gift from a loving God and that we are called by God to receive these gifts gratefully, cultivate them fully and share them generously.

As Catholic stewards, we use the blessings we have received and demonstrate both our understanding that we are managers (not owners) of God’s gifts and our appreciation for what we have received. When we contribute our time, talent and treasure to our parish, diocese and the universal Church, we follow the example of the servant who multiplied his talents while his master was away.

Every parish offers many stewardship opportunities for members to contribute their particular gifts and blessings to support parish programs and ministries that positively impact parishioners and the greater community.

How is God calling you to help build his kingdom – in your parish, in your community – and beyond?

What identifies a steward?Safeguarding material and human resources and using them responsibly are one answer; so is generous giving of time, talent, and treasure. But being a Christian steward means more. As Christian stewards, we receive God's gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord. (from the USCCB website)
